Protein bars are an easy and portable protein source. Pop one in your purse or carry-on and you are sure of something healthy and on plan to power your day. I always have a protein bar on me. You never know when your appointment will run late or plane will be delayed when traveling. I have checked-in to a hotel later than anticipated only to find my choices for dinner were a late night room service menu of overpriced deep fried foods or a vending machine filled with 400-calorie who knows how old pastries.

My secret protein stash has saved me many a time from making a not so healthy choice under stress. We know that we’re more likely to eat the wrong foods when we’re stressed and I just read a study that said that stress-induced changes to metabolism could lead to an 11-lb weight gain in an average year. Set yourself up for success and as those little Boy Scouts tell us "Be prepared."

I've got an exciting new protein bar option for you to check out! Celebrate Vitamins (an awesome company in our weight loss surgery community that gives back so much) has created a line of protein bars but these are not just any protein bar...

Celebrate ENS 2 in 1 Protein and Calcium Bar Highlights:

15 grams of Protein PLUS... 500 mg of Calcium Citrate and 333 IU of Vitamin D3 per bar. Very cool!

When Celebrate Vitamins asked me to try their latest product and share the news I was excited to. You know I love to try new things. The products (including the nom nom nom samples I gobbled up for this review) and the nutritional information have been provided by Celebrate Vitamins. The commentary and opinions are all me.

Follow you both on FB; I just received my order from Celebrate this past Friday and it did have 2 free bars inside; I tried the peanut butter one already and it is very good! I love the Celebrate vitamins from the ENS shakes to the yummy orange multi! Thanks for the opportunity to win!laurakay0001 at aol dot com

This sounds like a terrific product ! I'm looking forward to trying these on my next vacation - wherever it takes me - or just when I get caught short and need a quick snack. I LOVE that they have everything wrapped up into one ! MsRachelR@ aol dot com

Would love to try these! I wish I could say that I would try them in an exotic location, but I would bring them to school for days when I forget my lunch or just need a little something. Teaching in a computer lab is rough (Pre-K to 5th grade)! getpets@gmail.com

I would love to try these bars. Gonna order some on payday. I am always out in the field and hate when I can't get back to my office for lunch. Then I am trying to figure out what to eat that is safe and healthy. UGH never any good choices!Donah Davisondonahlpn@gmail.com

Would love to try these bars! I'm always looking for portable protein sources and these sound yummy. I'd love to be eating these on a sunny beach somewhere with good book in my hand and a handsome hunk by my side ;) Hey, a girl can dream, right? lol

I would love to win them. I LOVE your site and send anyone that is looking for great recipes to your page. I even bought some mini cupcake pans to make some of your recipes with. Thank you for this site!!!Amy Morrisdstydream@verizon.net

I would take my winnings with me to Rekyavik, Iceland on the Christmas trip to see the Northern Lights that my husband and I are taking! (Not only a good way to stay on track, but I hear that food is outrageously expensive there - so maybe these would be the occasional meal replacement for me!)Love the opportunities that you and Celebrate are offering us all!

Hi. Thank you for the contest. I liked your FB pages several months ago, but Celebrate Vitamins is new to me, so I just liked them as well. I also checked out their website and ordered a sample package. I would love to win the Celebrate Vitamin's ENS 2 in 1 bars. Thanks again!!

I can't wait to order these bars. Everything I have made from your blog has been so tasty, so these too, have to be good. I would live to have these with me on my trip traveling back to Paris some day. Please pick me!

These bars sounds so yummy, especially the caramel one! Thanks for exciting me...it's the small things in life! Hope to be enjoying some bars on my Orange Beach vacay in 6 weeks!Colby Crimcolbycrim@comcast.net

Done and done! I've always just sampled various brands of protein bars; I've never found any that I could really adopt as my go-to brand. I can't wait to try these Celebrate bars to see if their taste + nutrition can finally be my staple protein bar.

This would simply be amazing for me right now! I'm 2 years post op and due to have a baby any time between now and Aug 28 (scheduled c-section) and this would help me get back on track after the baby is born! Having to force myself to increase my carbs and calories threw me off a lot and I cannot wait to get back to "normal"!

Just started to follow you and Celebrate vitamins on FB, then just clicked to follow you on Twitter and tweeted. Would be great to try them. We'll be taking a trip to Bass Lake the end of September when I'll finally be able to eat "real" food again (surgery is 8/25)!

I just received my first order of multi-vitamins from Celebrate and I can already tell what I've been missing! I can see myself enjoying one of the Celebrate protein bars after a night at the gym, but taking a few moments to watch the lights of downtown Dallas before getting in my car and returning back to reality.

I don't get enough protein. if these are any good it would be perfect for me. Hoping I win so I can try them. tired of throwing my money away on half eaten protein bars because they taste like recycled cardboard. I end up throwing them out for my chickens

About Me

I had my guts rearranged (aka Weight Loss Surgery, RNY gastric bypass surgery June 2006) This blog is basically me rambling about my world. I also post recipes that I've adapted to make weight loss surgery friendly.
I love to cook.
I have always loved to cook. It's my creative outlet. I was scared that having weight loss surgery would put an end to my days in the kitchen but happily it did not. I actually get to be even more creative by analyzing a favorite recipe and seeing where I can make changes to make a healthier version of a pre-op favorite.

Thank You
